His Name is Creator

Promise of the Day:
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void;
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(Genesis 1:1,2)

Prayer:
You, Lord, are my Creator-Owner. As the potter creates his vessels, so You have created me. You also find there are rough edges, but because I belong to You to do with as You wish, You are free to do what is needed to remove those rough edges. You not only created all things, but You did it by the spoken Word, by the 'breath of Your mouth.' Thank You Lord, for including me is Your creation, and may I be pleasing to You. I will spend the rest of my life giving honor and glory to You. Praise to You, O God, my Creator! Amen

His Name is "Peace"

Promise of the Day:
"I will hear what God the Lord will speak:
for he will speak 'peace' unto his people.
(Psalm 85:8)

Prayer:
Dear Lord,
Your peace is beyond understanding! We need have no fear of what life here hands us, because we know life is but a vapor. It is what comes after this life that is important. I will be with You in Glory! You are the Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace! I have perfect peace when I keep my mind stayed on You. "O the Peace that Jesus gives, never dies, it always lives!" I worship and praise Your name forever. Amen

He is called "My Redeemer"

Promise of the Day:
For I know that 'my Redeemer' liveth..."
(Job 19:25)

Prayer:
O My Redeemer! There is none like You and I know that my Redeemer lives. Because You live, I too shall live forever and forever in Your presence. You, who created the mountains and the oceans and all living creatures, also provided a way for me to have You as my Redeemer. 'O that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for his wonderful works to the children of men!' (Psalm 107:8, 15, 21, 31) Amen

He is called 'King of Glory'

Promise of the Day:
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
(Psalm 24:8)

Prayer:
You, O Lord, are truly the King of Glory! You are the One that brought all things into being by the 'breath of Your mouth'. And You are the One that holds all things together. In You I live and breathe and have life. You are a Mighty Fortress, and bulwark never failing. You who made the oceans also made the dew drop. You who made the mountains also started the heartbeat of a tiny, baby bird. With such might and majesty, I say in amazement, "who am I that You love me?" Yet You do, with an Everlasting love. Thank You, my King of Glory. Amen

He is Called 'The Door'

Promise of the Day:
'I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.' (John 10:9)

Prayer:
Dear Lord,
I have read that at the time You lived on earth (and it may still be in that part of the world) that a shepherd actually was the door of the sheepfold. At night after putting his sheep in, he would lie down across the threshold. All the sheep that entered in were then safe. In the morning they would again go out to find pasture. You are just like that as my shepherd. Once I enter in You are the door of safety, and You will lead me to pastures green; You will lead me beside still waters. You are my Shepherd-King, and I will praise You and follow You throughout eternity. Amen

Great Jehovah

Promise of the Day:
That men may know that thou,
whose name alone is Jehovah,
art the most high over all the earth.
(Psalm 83:18)

Prayer:
Lord, Your name is Jehovah. The Hebrew is YHWH or Yahweh (Yah-Ve) meaning You are the self-existent One. You are the Great 'I AM'. The name Jehovah compounded with other names gives even more meaning such as with 'Nissi", meaning You are my banner; or "Jireh", You provide for me. You are truly the Great "I Am", my Way, my Truth, and my Life. Your banner over me is love, Jehovah-Nissi, My Lord, and My Love. Amen

Lord of Lords!

Promise of the Day:
For he is Lord of lords, and King of kings:
and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
(Revelation 17:14)

Prayer:
You are my Lord of all lords, my King of all kings, and most of all, You are my Savior and my Redeemer! I sometimes picture myself actually in the flesh (as Job says we will be) bowing before You in reverence. Then I see myself going lower until I fall on my face kissing Your feet--those precious feet that walked to the Cross and still bear the scars of Calvary. O Lord my God, You are my Lord and King. You are my everything! You are my Lord of all lords! Amen
